Manafort found guilty on 8 of 18 Counts against him....

The judge has declared a mistrial on the 10 counts that the jury could not decide on. Originally Posted by Jackie S

If the jury convicted on some, but were hung on others, how could the judge rule a mistrial on those charges only??


Also, President Trump's former Lawyer MIchael Coehn pleaded guilty to several counts of fraud and illegal campaign contributions. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Yea i saw that too.. And again i wonder, IF COHEN said under oath to congress he knew NOT about those meetings, but is NOW claiming he did, HOW CAN HE Expect us to trust that what he's saying NOW is the truth??


Who cares if Manofort rots in jail for tax evasion? So did Al Capone. You believe what Cohen says????? You do know the Feds lost a similar case against John Edwards? It’s a gray area. Molly Tibbets was murdered by an illegal alien. Build the fuckin wall and send you to Guatemala and not let you back in. Take Bubba Yssup with you. Originally Posted by bambino

Cohen just cut a deal that allowed him plead out to EIGHT FELONIES, garkhal.

You think he made everything up now that he’s a convicted felon? As opposed to simply being Trump’s fixer? LOL!

Manafort was charged with 18 counts. A jury trial is not an absolute thing, so a split decision is always possible.

Guys, you’re so busy fuming about CLINTON that you you’re really not focusing on what is happening right now.

No matter how hard the Trump bullshit machine tries to discredit EVERYTHING — and they’ve been working overtime to do that since the best attended inauguration ever — the fact is that Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort are both convicted felons. And this isn’t about a blowjob in the White House.

As I said before, it’s a bad day for our nation and I don’t blame you for being pissed. I’d be pissed if I was you. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider
It's a bad day for two idiots named Manafort and Cohen not the whole nation. They didn't do anything that even affects the nation. It's not like they made a Uranium deal with the Russians, lol. Fuck those two jerks.

You may be right, Jim, on the surface.

What comes next is what’s going to get ugly.

If Gen Kelly still has his balls, he’ll take Trumps phone away from him.

The morning Twitter on the shitter is going to leave knots in the bellies of GOP congressional candidates for sure.

Plus as i said. IF he lied to congress when under oath, HOW CAN WE now believe him, now he's pled guilty??

And even IF he DIDN’T, how can we believe the word of a man who lies on the average of 7 times a day?
